Are looking for. This feels like an urban renewal type deal (which is kind of what they did in Seattle).

Needs to be a place that will help them get talent.SLC is not that place.

Maybe SLC for Amazon expansion?

There really is 0 chance they actually pick SLC.

Why do you say that, out of curiosity?

#1: not enough diversity

Ok, i read the article. Not coming to SLC imo.

Diversity is not one of the requirements. SLC meets all stated Amazon requirements.

Not a big enough market, not the right regional location, air quality,

Big enough for Adobe to put in a large building with plans for two more

Adobe=1,500 jobs. Amazon=50,000 jobs.

1000 per building is what I was told

I'll guarantee you right now it isn't coming to Utah.

While you're probably right I think you dismiss the state too quickly

Did I? It didn't even crack Amazon's top 20.

Market size is well within requirement. The other quirky things will definitely be an issue.

My bet is Montreal or Toronto.

My guess is a canadian city, Denver, Austin, Charlotte or Atlanta

LiveCoug

Would be great for the city, but there are many other cities that check a lot/all of the boxes as well

They want $5-7 Billion in incentives to locate. Only a few states can do that
